Aglaonema Red Valentine is one of the most vibrant and eye-catching Aglaonema cultivars, celebrated for its brilliant pink foliage mottled with green speckles. A tropical evergreen from the Araceae family and native to Southeast Asia, this hybrid is prized by collectors for its striking colour contrast, easy care, and compact growth habit an embodiment of tropical warmth and modern elegance.
Each leaf is broad, glossy, and heart-shaped, displaying a rich pink to rosy-red base scattered with irregular green flecks. Some leaves feature a bold green margin, while others are almost completely flushed with pink, giving every plant its own unique pattern. New growth often emerges bright pink, deepening in tone as it matures. With its dense, upright form and long-lasting colour, Aglaonema Red Valentine brings instant tropical glamour to both home and office spaces.
Vivid, resilient, and uplifting, Aglaonema Red Valentine is the perfect fusion of artistry and simplicity a plant that exudes warmth and joy all year round.
Thrives in bright, indirect light to enhance its vivid pink tones. It can tolerate moderate light levels but may lose some colour intensity in deeper shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the delicate leaves. East- or north-facing windows with diffused light are ideal.
Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Aglaonemas prefer even moisture, but overwatering can cause root rot. During winter, allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings. Always ensure the pot drains freely.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 2028 C; protect from cold draughts and avoid temperatures below 16 C.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (5070%). If the air is dry, mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain lush foliage and prevent leaf edges from browning.
Use a well-draining, rich tropical mix, such as compost combined with perlite and coco coir. This provides moisture retention without waterlogging. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the mix and encourage vigorous new growth.
Feed every 46 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertiliser or a foliage-specific formula. Avoid over-fertilising, which can damage the roots and discolour the variegation. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a clean appearance. Wipe leaves regularly with a soft, damp cloth to restore their glossy sheen and highlight their vivid pink hues. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and balanced colouration.
A moderate grower, Aglaonema Red Valentine typically reaches 4060 cm in height and spread. It maintains a dense, bushy habit and produces new leaves consistently throughout the year under the right conditions. Its compact form and bright foliage make it ideal for desks, tabletops, and bright corners.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or cold stress.
Faded colour: Insufficient light.
Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Aglaonema Red Valentine is a hybrid cultivar developed through selective breeding for enhanced pigmentation and adaptability to indoor environments. Like other Aglaonemas, it originates from the tropical understories of Southeast Asia, thriving in warm, humid conditions with filtered light.
In addition to its decorative allure, it is an excellent air-purifying plant, filtering toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene while enriching indoor air quality. Its vibrant colours symbolise prosperity and positive energy in many Asian cultures, making it both a beautiful and meaningful addition to any collection.
